have you seen 'Set Basic Path'?

English Network/Internet
#1

hi, i’m newbie on linux.

i have no idea if my question is belong to this category.

I tried to use scp like…

scp -p 1234 111.222.333.444:/home/anonymous/asdf.asd /home/cognita/

this command asked me password and after typing password it showed

Set Basic Path

and didn’t copy…

do you have any idea how i should solve this problem?

sorry about my poor english… :shame:

oh, i’m using opensuse 11.3

When you post computer input/output, plkease do so between CODE tags (Posting in Code Tags - A Guide).

And in this case it would have been usefull to show the complete part of thh session. Just saying “it didn’t copy” is without even showing what (error) messages were displayed is not very informative. It does not prove e.g. that /home/anonymous/asdf.asd exists. Let the computer speak!

An example:


mgi@boven:~> scp beneden:hoera hoera
Password:
scp: hoera: No such file or directory
mgi@boven:~>

oh i see.

code:

sj@right:~>scp -P 22 111.222.333.444:/home/bjm/waterphantom/test.root ./
sj@111.222.333.444’s password:
Set Basic Path
sj@right:~>

that’s all. ‘Set Basic Path’ was all error message.
could you help me understand this message?

Maybe you have a different SSH config then I have. As you have seen, mine asks simply Password, while your asks* 111.222.333.444’s password*
My questions, are you loging in as usr sj at the other system? And do you use sj’s password then?

And I repeat: please put computer output between CODE tags. There is no need to put code: before it because that is of no help. Read the link I provided in the first liine of poist #3 above.

#6

the thing i cannot understand is… it worked before.
i don’t remember exactly when it started not working.
but i didn’t change anything… --a

No idea what that means but can you add the option -v to your command to get
hopefully the more verbose debug messages from scp like this


scp -v -P 22 111.222.333.444:/home/bjm/waterphantom/test.root ./
or the short form
scp -vP 22 111.222.333.444:/home/bjm/waterphantom/test.root ./

of course with a valid ip address

i solved the problem.
i commented out one line in .bashrc and scp worked~!

#source /home/software/script/g482.sh

I don’t understand what is relavant exactly, but it works. :slight_smile:
Thank you for your kind posts, Henk and Martin.

What’s the output from:


ssh 111.222.333.444 'echo $PATH'

The quotes are important. Change the IP to whatever you were really using. And you might need a “-p port” option (to match the “-P port” that you were apparently using with scp).

There might be a messed up “.bashrc” or other shell initialization file on the destination system.

That depends on what is in* /home/software/script/g482.sh*. This should contains bash commands (else the source would be nonsense).
